Get Noticed and Get Sold

Next week I'll be showing a Palos Verdes buyer who wants a one level home with no stairs-no step down living room, or steps up or down to the garage. I previewed several one levels in search of a "step free" house.

After eight or nine houses they all began to look alike. I found myself making notes such as "granite kitchen and stainless appliances" on many, and "original condition" on several others. I returned to the office uninspired and more than likely my client will have a similar response to the look alike one levels.

Sellers, what makes your house stand out from the crowd? Is it:

Staged?

Priced aggressively?

Squeaky-clean?

Easy to show?

Move in condition?

Buyers look at many houses; they buy only one. Present your property in its most favorable light. Peeling and faded paint will be viewed as a future expense. Ditto for the worn and stained carpet I saw in several of the homes I previewed.

Fishing village with colorful houses

Buyers have lots of choices, so make a big first impression. More than likely you will not get a second chance.
